Katherine Ryan had a rather gloomy outlook on her marriage to childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra.
The pair first dated as teens, reconnecting in 2018 and tying the knot a year later.
The couple welcomed son Fred, two, in 2021, followed by their daughter Fenna, one, in 2022. Katherine also has daughter Violet, 14, from a previous relationship.
Despite their relationship appearing rock solid, the comedian admitted she wasn’t sure how long their marriage would last as it ‘takes a back seat.’
‘We’ve only been married five years, but 50 years? I don’t know,’ she admitted.
She continued to The Sun: ‘Everyone’s happy after the first five whereas I’m more about, “Can we make it to 20 years and 40 years and 50 years?”‘.
However, she cheekily added: ‘It’s easy to love him, look how fit he is.’
She revealed that one reason her relationship may have taken a ‘back seat’ is that the couple don’t share a bed while Katherine co-sleeps with their youngest child.
Bobby previously admitted he wants his ‘sexy wife’ back in their bed as part of the family’s new reality series Katherine Ryan: Parental Guidance.
In the show, Katherine explores out-of-the-box parenting ideas and meets families across the UK who are living and breathing them, while the cameras also follow her own family in their day-to-day lives.
In an episode discussing co-sleeping, Katherine explained: ‘We’re both co-sleeping with someone. Bobby sleeps with Fred because I’m sleeping with Fenna. It’s really good for the children to have that.’
Bobby agreed with the benefits but reflected on how the sleeping arrangements had affected their relationship.
‘We did try to have everyone in the same room, but the babies were kind of waking each other up, so we had to switch to separate rooms, which is a bit better but also I do kind of miss sleeping with my sexy wife,’ he added.
‘It’s probably not been great for our intimacy. So, we kind of are missing a couple of different important connections I think for any relationship really.’
Katherine also previously opened up on how she has sex exactly twice a month, and she’s owning it.
When asked whether she’s a minx in her marriage, Katherine responded with a resounding, ‘No.’
‘But I should be,’ she continued to The Times. ‘We have sex exactly twice a month. I log it just in case I do get pregnant.’
